According to the city s Q&A, the flooding in east Dearborn was due to lower elevation, outdated infrastructure and reduced drainage from development in the area. The Q&A also said its Combined Sewer Overflow project was not was not intended to increase the sewer system’s capacity in order to prevent flooding.
